Author: yvette legge

Yvette Legge is a London based luxury travel, food and lifestyle writer with a weakness for excellent hotels, overachieving tasting menus and restaurants that know the value of a properly cold martini.

Her work covers everything from five star escapes and destination dining to beauty, wellness and the occasional very convincing reason to book a table immediately. With a background in luxury editorial and a dangerously full camera roll, Yvette writes with a sharp eye for detail, a dry sense of humour and an allergy to anything that feels bland, beige or joylessly over polished.

When she is not reviewing hotels, interviewing chefs or pretending one more dessert is essential research, she can usually be found plotting her next trip, stalking new openings or sharing her finds on Instagram at @burgers_and_burpees.
